Emma's Christmas Dress

Just wanted to do one more quick post with some pics of Emma in her new Christmas dress, another beautiful creation by one of my favorite eBay sellers, shopamericangirl. Be sure to follow the link...she's got some great stuff on eBay right now. Of course, you won't be able to get it in time for Christmas, but maybe it can be a New Year's Eve dress or something. :)

The black and red print is beautiful on a doll with such dark hair and eyes. The white fabric reminds me of snow. Is the red flower 'silk'? I confess I have a large (very large) assortment of doll-sized silk flowers rescued from old floral arrangements. The prices at the craft stores are outrageous (although one store recently had a 90 percent off sale on the fall colors).

I recommend air-dusting thrift store silks, followed by decontammimation.

Hi AlexAndrea. Yes, the flower is "silk", or something similar. What a good idea to use flowers from floral arrangements! I agree, craft stores charge way too much for their fake flowers. I'm glad you like the dress. I thought it looked pretty stunning on Emma myself. :)
